In a tight game, brilliant saves can carry the same weight as a goal, and former Socceroo Mark Bosnich believes Ryan Scott’s diving stop played a crucial role in his side’s 1-0 win over Brisbane.
Riku Danzaki thought he had scored for Brisbane with a deflected shot, before Scott tipped it to one side.
“It was a close run thing with Joe Gauci’s save for Adelaide against Melbourne Victory, a terrific save with the wrong hand,” said Bosnich.
“But Ryan’s save was a bit further away, and helped to earn his side the points.”
